Building Emotional Resilience for Lasting Recovery
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a highly effective, evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals manage emotions, reduce self-destructive behaviors, and build healthier relationships. At One Life at a Time, our DBT Program provides structured support for individuals struggling with addiction, co-occurring mental health disorders, and emotional dysregulation.
What is Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)?
DBT is a structured form of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) that teaches individuals how to regulate emotions, tolerate distress, and interact effectively with others. Originally developed for individuals with borderline personality disorder, DBT has proven to be highly effective in substance use treatment, anxiety, depression, and PTSD recovery.
Key Benefits of DBT
- Emotional Regulation – Learn techniques to manage intense emotions and avoid impulsive behaviors.
- Distress Tolerance – Develop coping strategies to handle stress and challenging situations without substance use.
- Mindfulness Practices – Increase self-awareness and stay present in the moment to reduce anxiety and cravings.
- Interpersonal Effectiveness – Improve communication skills and relationships by setting healthy boundaries and expressing needs clearly.
- Relapse Prevention – Strengthen the ability to manage triggers and high-risk situations with practical skills.
How DBT Works in Addiction Treatment
At One Life at a Time, our DBT sessions are led by licensed professionals and are integrated into our addiction and mental health treatment programs. Our approach includes:
- Individual DBT Therapy – One-on-one sessions focused on personal growth and skill-building.
- Group DBT Skills Training – Supportive group sessions where individuals practice new strategies in a safe environment.
- Behavioral Coaching – Real-time support to apply DBT techniques in daily life.
- Mindfulness & Emotional Regulation Exercises – Practical exercises to improve emotional stability and reduce impulsive behaviors.
- Integration with Other Therapies – DBT is often combined with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Therapy for a comprehensive recovery plan.
